The "regulars" on this board come and go in waves. I've been here since 1999 and I've seen more groups pass through than you can imagine. Sometimes it's sad to see people go whose posts you really enjoyed reading, but hey, sometimes "real life" catches up to you.

There are some who post very infrequently that were once big-time contributors (in other words, you might never have known how active they used to be around here). Everyone once in awhile I'll see one of their posts pop up out of nowhere, and it always brings a smile to my face. Char-dawg, heavythrower, Nate Dogg, and Cupcake just to name a few...

As for Goldberg, he posts under a different name now, though I haven't seen him here in awhile. I still see him around other boards from time-to-time. For those who never had a chance to see Goldie around, he was always quick to jump your shit if you said something stupid, but he was a hell of a guy. He made the Prof. look like the nicest guy in the world a lot of times, lol, but he was just about always right and damn funny, too.

I agree, I've been here off an on since the start, and have seen many come and go the same way. DemoDick, michelle, avoidsroids, etc.

It seems that everyone who spends a lot of time here eventually stops posting. If I remember correctly, this topic was brought up a few years ago, with reference to a life cycle of internet forums.

I miss Goldberg running into every "injury" thread and telling the person to get A.R.T.!

He was a good poster, very informative and definitly missed. But it all goes in cycles. You lose a few and gain a few. There are some really good contributors here once you sift through the ultra newb's giving out advice and stupid threads like "Offical Photoshop Thread."

I thought Tampa-Terry was an institution around here. She tirelessly gave great advice and always had a good word for everyone. She seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. (Hopefully, not literally!)
